A quiet, private retreat along a babbling brook in the Adirondack High Peaks

Wonderful quiet cottage with excellent furnishings and opportunities for campfires. Particularly liked the private trails in the back and fire-ring by the creek.

Stayed here with my husband, my mom, and my two kids, ages 6 and 9. The property is beautiful and secluded and the brook running behind the house is perfect for the kids to play in. The photos don’t really do it justice! We went to The Wild Center in Tupper Lake, Ausable Chasm, Whiteface Veterans Memorial Highway and Lake Placid, so this property is not too far from some great attractions. There are fans and AC, so we were very comfortable. Perfect stay!

Owl’s Head Cabin is nestled into the forest, next to a cold mountain stream. Nothing but beautiful trees, plants, and flowers to be seen from cabin. You hear the stream rippling over rocks the whole time. The cabin is cozy, very clean, and rustic, yet contains all necessary modern comforts. The linens are all really nice. My favorite bed was the futon on the screened porch. The stream provides true nature sounds. The sun and birdsong woke me early. We enjoyed campfires, playing in the water, and some total relaxation, even with a 3 and 1-year-old. We did some day trips, but my favorite days were spent right there by the stream. No cell service! Glorious! If you are squeamish about a few ants in your home…well, you probably aren’t vacationing in the Adirondacks. Five stars for Owl’s Head. We can’t wait to stay there again!

Our family’s stay at Owl’s Head cabin was the perfect ADK weekend. Marty and Nancy are delightful hosts who thought of every last detail. The cabin and property are breathtaking and made for a beautiful, private respite — we would love to stay again soon!

Great property. Easily accessible. Very secluded. This was a great property in the woods and is very quiet. If you are looking for a relaxing great place this is it! The property was clean, up to date amenities and a great place!

Such a sweet spot! My son and I really appreciated unplugging, hiking from the house and driving just short little trips for a dinner out in Keene.

Everything about this trip was perfect. Starting with the in depth directions and owner guide, this secluded little slice of heaven was all that we could ask for. The owners make it very easy to locate and simple to check in. The property is the epitome of the Adirondack experience, minutes away from Lake Placid and many high peaks.

Wonderful stay and highly recommended. The owners keep a beautiful cottage and my partner and I hope to visit again someday during the warmer season. Owl’s Head Cabin was cozy, clean, and well accommodated. Thank you Marty and Nancy!

What a great, well appointed cabin in an ideal location for nature lovers. The cabin has beautiful traditional Adirondack furniture, a wide range of reading materials (especially some awesome trail guides and local points of interest), a well appointed kitchen, and a great wood stove for winter nights.

My wife and I stayed at the cabin for two nights. We were able to kick our shoes off and relax immediately after arriving. Everything was ready for us when we got there. The provided firewood was easily accessible and extremely plentiful. We took full advantage of the fire ring by the brook and the stove in the cabin. I thought for sure we'd burn through it all but boy was I wrong. There was so much there. We had fun sipping on our drinks and taking little hikes around the trail on the property and then back to the fire ring to warm up before our next lap. Made dinner both nights which was super easy due to all the supplied dishes and utensils. Bed was cozy too. Was an extremely peaceful spot to be at for 2 days. Our only complaint was that we didn't book it for an additional night. We won't make that mistake next time. :)
